    My headlights stopped working, but my signals work, and the pop is heard when turning the switch.

    I checked all my fuses and no luck. Now my clutch goes all the way to the floor with no resistance, and no gears go in.

    first about your head lights. Are both of them not working. Try messing with the wires while the lights are on. I think its a ground wire. You can test this by grabbing a short piece of wire and wrapping one end around middle prong of the three prong plug on the back of one of your headlights leave the plug on coming from the truck and put the other end of your wire on a solid engine ground. Make sure your light switch is on. As for your clutch pedal. Your clutch slave is probably out. Its an easy fix. It is located next to your starter. Look for fluid that has leaked out on the ground.

    Take a multi tester or a test light to the plug going into one of your headlights and make sure you're getting power first. If you are its the ground.
